"We started with the idea that one should not consider desire as a subjective superstructure which phases in and out.
Desire never stops shaping history, even in its worst periods. The German masses had come to desire Nazism. [...]
Under certain conditions, the desire of the masses can turn against their own interests. What are those conditions? That's the whole question.
[...]to answer that, we realized that one cannot simply attach a Freudian wagon to the Marxist-Leninist train.
First one must get rid of a stereotyped hierarchy between an opaque economic infrastructure and social and ideological superstructures conceived of in such a way that they repress the question of sex and expression on the side of representation, as far away as possible from production.
The relations of production and the relations of reproduction participate in the same pairing of productive forces and antiproductive structures.
We should move desire on the side of the infrastructure, on the side of production, and the family, the ego and the person on the side of antiproduction. This is the only way to prevent the sexual from remaining permanently cut off from the economic."
F. Guattari; In Flux

"There exists[...] a desiring-production, which, before all actualization in the familial division of sexes and persons as well as the social division of work, invests the various forms of production of jouissance and the existing structures in order to repress them."
F. Guattari; In Flux

F.G.: [...]A militant struggle is necessary against the reductive explanations and adaptive techniques of suggestion based on Oedipal triangulation. Refusing to grasp compulsively a complete object, symbolic of all despotism. Drifting towards real multiplicities. Ceasing to dismiss both man and machine whose relationship, on the contrary, constitutes desire itself. Promoting another logic, a logic of real desire, establishing the primacy of history over structure;
another analysis, extricated from symbolism and interpretation; another militancy, with the means to free itself form fantasies of the dominant order.
G.D.; [...]Now, strangely, if we have tried to go beyond this traditional duality, it's precisely because we were writing together. Neither of us was the madman, neither of us the psychiatrist; there had to be two of us in order to find a process that was not reduced either to the psychiatrist or his madman, or to a madman and his psychiatrist.
The process is what we call a flux. Now, once again, the flux is a notion that we wanted to remain ordinary and undefined.
This could be a flux of words, ideas, shit, money, it could be a financial mechanism or a schizophrenic machine: it goes beyond all dualities.
We dreamed of this book as a flux-book.
G. Deleuze & F. Guattari; In Flux

[...]then there are the younger generations: it's unlikely they'll buy a certain type of discourse, now epistemological, now psychoanalytical, now ideological. it's beginning to tire everyone out.
We say: Oedipus and castration, make the best of them, because it's not going to last. Until now psychoanalysis has been left alone: there have been attacks on psychiatry, the psychiatric hospital, but psychoanalysis seemed untouchable, uncomrpomised.
We are trying to show that psychoanalysis is worse than the hospital, precisely because it operates through all the pores of capitalist society and not in the special places of confinement.
And because it is profoundly reactionary in its practice and theory, not only in its ideology. And because it fulfills specific functions.
Felix says that our books is addressed to people who are not between 7 and 15 years old. because in fact it is still too difficult, too cultivated, and makes too many compromises.
[...]
If a book responds to a desire, it is insofar as there are already a lot of people who can't stand a current type of discourse.[...], a book can only respond to a desire politically, outside the book. For example, an association of angry users of psychoanalysis wouldn't be a bad place to start"
